Yukigassen is a one-of-a-kind sport, that involves fighting with snowballs. The Japanese term literally translates to snow-battle. The sport was developed in Japan, and is currently played in Australia, Canada, and in many European countries.
Yukigassen is a team sport played between two teams, with seven players on each team.
The game is played outdoors on a specially designed court that has an ice surface. The court consists of several small wall-like barriers, behind which players secure themselves from being hit. Players wear helmets and full winter gear to play the sport. Two flags, one for each team, are placed on the opposing ends, and are used as a part of game play.
For a match, each team gets to use 90 snowballs. Before the start of play, players from both teams pick up two snowballs and wait in a ready position. When the game starts, players start throwing snowballs at the opposing team's players. Within a team, players take an offensive and defensive position, in which the players on offense strike the opponents, while defensive players reinforce them with more snowballs. Players are considered "out" if they are hit by a snowball.
A match is played in a three-set format, where each set lasts for three minutes. The objective for each team is to get all the players of the opposing team out, or capture the opposing team’s flag. The team that wins two sets first is the winner of the match. -

I was just re-watching that earlier, although I didn't finish it yet. I hadn't watched it in a long time. How did the doctor confirm Buddy was Walter's son so quickly? It seemed like it was the same day. Isn't that impossible? And it would need to need to go to a lab, the doctor can't do that in his office.
Yeah, I'm overanalyzing a movie in which Santa and his elves are real, lol. -

LOL
That is great and you are funny!
The thing that gets to me is when the park cops show up on horseback as if they are mean and the enemy who want to do damage.
They really villainize them!
Hey, c'mon.
Santa is a white man.
Not a black one!
I love the scene with Peter Dinklage.

Thanks! I really had that thought about the immediate paternity test, since it's impossible. Then I realized it's not exactly a realistic movie.
I need to finish re-watching it. I didn't realize how little I remembered from the movie. -
